FROM THE STREETS - THE WEEKEND EDITION

Welcome to another web edition of Thinking Out Loud, and I’m your host E. L. Pleasant.

 

Today program is a follow-up to 06-19-12 Curtis Jackson, aka 50cent:  “50Cent opens up on the use of the N-Word,” is to try to reiterate the cause and effect that this single word alone has helped to destroy the very fabric of who we are as a race.  Today my in house guess street professor Mr. Kenny Miller will attempt to explain the difference between a nigger/nigga and a Negro.

 

FROM THE STREET:  I’m from the streets, but the streets is not who I am.  I’m black and I’m proud and I don’t like being called a nigger by any means.

 

Jay is 27, aka Jay Love to his closet of friends.  He is a smooth caramel complexion with a pink rose petal color for lips, and packs a big butt that he swigs from side to side effortlessly as he walks, where as he would be a prison inmate afternoon delight the moment he is processed.  Yet there is not an ounce of sugar in his tank, for he is as straight as an Indian arrow head and one of the nicest people you would like to come across.   He is accompanied by his 3 year old daughter Mesha, who will be 4 in December, his 6 year old daughter Tosha, who will be 7 in January and his 5 year old cousin Robin.  The conversation at hand is the May Weather fight, among three of his buddies, while the little ones sit and lick on ice cream; but listening to every single word that is being spit out.  “Did he or did he not take a cheap shot to win the fight,” is the question and from that point on every word that came out of this young mans mouth was fowl.  From f**k, motherf**ker, shi* to assh**e, I’m just an observer that offers no opinion of any kind, but thinking out loud I wonder.  If he has no respect for himself, I already no he has none for his kids and the ones he is speaking with can see this also.  Therefore if he doesn’t, then they don’t have any for him either, so they use the same languish to express their feelings in front of him and his kids.  Which what I would say would only cause another argument.  This is just one of the reasons we remain in the condition we are in and I don’t see it ever going to get any better until we start re-educating from birth.  A child is born every hour on the hour and as he or she grows who  is going to teach them of our history as a race? They no longer show reruns of Roots and you can't expect the public system too, no more than expecting them to teach your child manners. Even when you were attending school, there were no black history classes being offered. All you saw was a few posters on the wall of Fredrick Douglas, Martin Luther King, Harriet Tubman, and John Carver with little discussions of the role they played in our life. Today is no different than the 30's or 40's, your child can tell you the name of every white actor that pops up on the screen, but can only name less than a dozen black actors.  Who will teach them of Willie Lynch?  As they say, “You better check yourself before you wreck yourself,” and that process has already begun.  I’ll leave you with my thought, it’s better to be loved for doing something than to be hated for doing nothing.  Now you try and figure than one out.  For THINKING OUT LOUD,
I’m E. L. PLEASANT
